"What?"
"Yeah, I'm not able to make it to the Chunin Exams, could you cover me?" I facepalmed
"Sensei, our Kazekage ordered us to carry out this invasion, you can't just say 'I can't make it'. Are you disobeying orders?" I said, frowning.
"Don't order me around, I'm your sensei, just cover for me, okay? I'll be gone for the first 15 minutes." I nodded back before rolling my eyes.
'The exams are today, and he has the guts to tell me now? I bet he found another hoe'
He waved his hand before flickering away, I sighed.
'I'll tell his wife later once we get back. I never liked him that much.'
I looked at the sun, which was slowly rising. I flickered back into my apartment and quickly grabbed my pouch that was filled with tags and kunais. Once checking over everything I needed, I knocked the door where Aneko was still sleeping.
"Aneko! Get up!"
"Give me another minute mom!" I heard a voice muffled.
"Bitch, I'm not your mother! Get up!" I yelled, before laughing. Aneko fell off her bed.
"Wake up Raidon if he's not awake yet. I'm leaving!" I kicked the door once more before flickering to the stadium.
. . .
"Ano...do you hear a stampede or something..?" Sakura asked, pointing at the entrance.
"Eeh...I think that your teammate..." I facepalmed in second-hand embarrassment before patting her on the shoulder,
"Just say you don't know him..." Not even a second after finishing my sentence, Naruto shot into the arena. Shikamaru walked over to him and helped him up before Naruto shouted.
"Guys! Run! A Large herd of stampeding bulls is coming!"
"Nani? What are you talking about?" Shikamaru asked with a dumb panned face.
Genma looked at the duo before lecturing them. The crowds cheered, above them were two seats for the Kages. I frowned when 'Rasa' sat down and conversed with Hiruzen.
"Tch" I looked away. Sakura, who saw my actions opened her mouth.
"Eh? What's wrong? You were looking at Kazekage-sama before frowning."
"There's...nothing"
'Dammit, I need to be more careful on how I react to others around me.'
"Everyone, thank you very much for coming to Konohagakure's Chunin Exams. We will now begin the "Final round" matches for the ten who made it through the preliminaries. Please watch until the end!" Hiruzen concentrated chakra to the throat for his voice to echo, allowing everyone to hear his voice.
The crowd thundered in excitement. Genma took his time to explain the rules, in which I skipped.
"So, the very first match is Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Neji. Just those two remain and the rest of you go to the waiting room."
I walked with Sakura beside to the waiting room, which was located left of Naruto. I took one more glanced back.
'Just like in the Anime, Anbu are littered all over this arena. I'll have to act fast to escape once Sasuke and Gaara fight.'
I continued to walk and act as if I didn't discover anything. Kiba made it obvious. I sat on the bench that was provided.
Sakura sat down beside me and closed her eyes and meditating.
'She'll do almost anything to expand her reserves. At least it's going to be easier for her to train with Tsunade.'
In a corner, was a Chunin who was observing us, making sure we don't do anything stupid.
Naruto started first and flicked two kunai at Neji, who caught the first one and blocked the second. Naruto ran forward to close combat and aim a punch at the face. Neji dodged and grabbed his arm and pulled him forward.
He then aimed a palm at Naruto's unguarded side and landed a hit.
'I could barely see what's going on to the fact that they look like ants from where we at. What's the point of watching when I know the outcome and I can't really see what's going on...'
[Would you like to skip to Haruno Sakura's fight?]
'Yes'
"Haruno Sakura and Aburame Shino, could you two come down?" The chunin said while checking off something on his clipboard.
I put hands up after the two descended the stairs.
"Could I go a bit closer so I could watch the match?" I chunin first looked at the crowd before pointing at a seat. He nodded and went back to his clipboard.
"Wait! Let me come too!" Naruto shouted, standing up and walking beside me.
I hopped down the stairs and sat on the seat that was extremely close to the iron fence.
"Second match, start!" Sakura acted first and backflipped a couple meters away from Shino, a good distance to defend and attack. They started at each other for a solid minute before Shino raised his hands, bugs erupted out of his sleeves and went for Sakura.
She reached her hands into her pouch and threw two kunais with tags attached and aimed at bugs.
They exploded and got rid of a good amount of bugs, Shino used his bugs are armor, resulted in more deaths. Once the bugs dispersed, Sakura disappeared. Shino looked above, right, left and behind.
He didn't look below.
'He fell for it...wow.'
Sakura's hand reached for his leg and pulled him down. Shino was stuck halfway on the ground and helpless.
'Now finish it with a...'
Sakura popped out of the ground a couple meters from Shino before concentrating Chakra to her legs and arm. She shot forward, probably faster than me and more efficient, and punched him in the solar plexus.
The force pulled Shino out of the ground and with a sickening crack, he dented the arena wall.
"S-s-s-sakura-chan!? I really don't want to piss her off anymore..." Naruto cried silent tears.
Shino's head looked up for a second before his whole body dispersed into bugs. Sakaru looked around her before jumping onto the wall and closed her eyes.
She quickly opened her eyes and dodge Shino's attack and grabbed his arm and pulled him forward. Before he fell, she aimed a punch and made him fly through the air and landed on the ground with a small dent.
He didn't get back up. Instead, he dissolved into bugs once again.
Sakura growled in annoyance before forming quick hand signs and cupped her hand around her mouth.
"Suiton: Mizuame Nabara" She whispered
Water erupted from her pouch and coated the whole area floor with the sticky residue.
Shino, who didn't even notice anything, jumped out of his hiding spot and placed his feet on the ground before trying to move forward.
"W-what?!"
Sakura quickly double checked his Chakra signature, ran forward and landed a solid blow to the head, Shino whole body was forcefully pulled to the ground by the impacted and received a concussion and passed out.
"Winner! Haruno Sakura!" The crowd roared, Sakura smiled and did a curt bow before walking towards the stairs. Once she finally reached the end of the steps, Naruto bombarded her.
"Sakura-channnnn! I knew you could do it! You're amazing!" Naruto yelled, giving her the biggest grin. Sakura, for once, smiled.
"Thanks, Naruto. You did well for your match too!" Then I ruined the NaruSaku moment.
"Now, only Sasuke has to pass for the whole Team 7 to make it!" I said.
"Ugh, Sasuke-teme better not be the reason why the whole Team 7 doesn't get promoted." Sakura giggled before responding.
"I'm sure Sasuke-kun wouldn't let that happen."
During our whole conservation, Temari and Shikamaru already started fighting.
"Ugh, Shikamaru is just hiding in a tree, when is he going to fight back!?"
"Naruto, you hid underground while fighting Neji!"
'There goes NaruSaku. The relationship wouldn't work out anyway. Personality clashes too much.'
[Skip?]
'Yes'
"Tamako, it's your turn." Sakura nudged me from my sleepy state.
"R-right..." I muttered, getting up and flickering to the arena. Kankuro, who stood up yelling.
"I give up!"
'Oh yeah...forgot about that'
I looked at Genma before shrugging and flickered back to my seat. At the moment, Sasuke and Kakashi decided to enter very dramatically, Kakashi who transported them, use a bit more chakra for the leaves to circle around them.
Over Suddenly, everything froze and a window popped in front of me.
[Would you like to skip?]
I stayed silent, but the world the fast-forwarded until stopping when Temari and Kankuro grabbed Gaara and bolted. I looked at Sakura and Naruto, whose eyes widen at Sand shinobi and Sound attacking Leaf.
'What. The. Fuck. That was supposed to be one of the best fights, and the stupid game system made me skip it?!'
They glanced at me before I flickered on the stadium wall and got ready to chase after Temari.
Naruto shouted something at me but I was already gone. I quickly caught up to Temari before sensing something.
"Sasuke is following us..." Kankuro looked back before nodding. We picked up our pace before I noticed something.
"Four Chakra signatures are chasing Sasuke, it seems they're back up. One of them went back, it seems like for bait." Temari grunted before going even faster than before.
It wasn't until ten minutes later we took a small break. I quickly formed hand signs and put my ear on the branch.
"Doton: Earth Sensor"
"How is it?" Kankuro asked, still supporting Gaara.
"The number of people decreased by one, two genin and what I think is a summoning animal. Sasuke is still running at a good speed, he might catch up if we don't move soon." I responded back, getting up and stretched.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this," Temari said taking out wire and bitting it before pulling her hand back. She quickly set up a couple traps before departing with Kankuro and I. A couple minutes later, explosions came south of us.
Kankuro was tired of supporting Gaara, we had to take another break. I already knew what was going to happen.
"I finally caught up with you. This is as far as you guys go." Sasuke said.
"Dammit," Kankuro growled
"Uchiha Sasuke"
"I won't let you guys get away." Sasuke held his kunai. At this moment, Sasuke's gay-sounding music turned on and left me chuckling quietly.
"Kankuro! Tamako! Take Gaara and go quickly!" Temari shouted, jumping in front of us. "Leave him to me"
"But Temari! There is no way you could defeat him alone!" Kankuro said.
"Just go! This is an important mission for Suna! Just take Gaara and go!" We both nodded, I grabbed Kankuro's arm and flickered away and continued to run.
. . .
"How's Temari doing? Where's Sasuke!?" Kankuro asked, worried plastered on his face.
"Tch, Temari is alive but she isn't moving, Sasuke is still following us," I responded back. "Dodge!" A couple shuriken when thrown, both of us dodged before stopping. I walked in front of the remaining Subaku siblings and pulled my arms out.
"Don't run away..." Sasuke panted.
"I'll be your oppo-" I interrupted Kankuro.
"I'll fight you." Kankuro glared at me, daring me to oppose.
"If Gaara gets's out of control, you're the only one who can subdue him. Save your chakra. I'll deal with him." Kankuro said.
"Matte!" Temari jumped and landed besides us.
"I thought you passed out."
"No, but my distraction didn't give you a lot of time," Temari said, panting out her lungs.
"Time is all we need for Gaara to recover," Kankuro said back.
"Go! Kankuro, Tamako! I'll delay hi-" Kankuro ignored her and jumped forward and placed his puppet ahead of him.
"Temari, Tamako, you take Gaara and go." Kankuro said.
'Ugh, why can't they just decide already...'
"Just go!" We both nodded, and this time, I put Gaara's arm around my shoulder and quickly jumped away.
"Sasuke is still following us! Kankuro is fighting someone else." I yelled out before noticing Gaara's eyes twitch and fully open.
"Put me down, Tamako."
"Can you move?" I asked before stopping and letting him go. He clutched his head and yelled in pain.
"You need medical attention..." I formed a series of hand signs and held out my hand. It turned into a hint of green.
"Go over there, you're in the way..." Gaara rasped out.
"Wha?" I didn't act fast enough and was punched away. I landed on the trunk of the tree and coughed out blood.
"G...gaara..." I rasped out
"I don't know what you Suna Shinobi are doing, but I'll stop you!" Sasuke said. "I'll ascertain your true identity!"
I chuckled before a full-blown laughter.
"Gaara is Gaara of the Sand. He is what you see. What's in him is a whole different story." Sasuke frowned at me.
At the moment, Gaara screamed in pain and clutched in the head. Cracks forming all around his head.
"Gaara!" Both Temari and I shouted.
"Stop, Gaara! Have you forgotten the mission!?" Temari shouted in a pained voice.
"You who are strong...you who are called Uchiha...you who have friends...you who have a purpose...you who are like...me! By killing you, I will exist in this world as the one who destroyed all of that...I can truly experience "life"." Gaara rasped out before releasing a curling scream of pain.
Gaara's right arm started to bulge and rip his clothing, then completely change color, shape, and size.
Black started to surround me, I looked at Temari for help, she was distracted my Gaara.
'It's no good, Gaara broke a couple ribs and I hit my head against the tree...did I get a concussion..? I can't pass out now!'
I circulated medical ninjutsu all over my body, slowly repairing the damage down, once my concussion was fixed, I used my hands to repair my broken ribs. After complete finishing, I looked and saw Sasuke laying on a branch and Gaara ready to end his life.
Gaara has kicked away by Naruto and Sakura went to heal Sasuke.
'Status'
. . .
HP: 4,800/5,005
CP: 4,300/5,105
. . .
I glanced at Gaara who was a fourth of transformation.
"Sasuke-kun!" I looked at Sakura who was healing Sasuke and supporting him with her arm around her shoulder. She then jumped a couple trees away from Gaara and continued to heal.
"Naruto! Create a distraction!" I yelled, he looked at me as if I was crazy, Temari was too, shocked.
Naruto created a couple bunshin and they all ran forward, with the three seconds he gave me, I quickly formed hand signs and used almost all of my chakra and incased Gaara with crystal.
I panted heavily.
"Tamako! What are you doing!?" Temari yelled.
"Haven't you noticed how weird Kazekage-sama was acting!?" Temari stood still, paling quickly. "Haven't you noticed that Kazekage-sama didn't send us the plan during the month before the final chunin exams!?"
I opened my mouth to say more but was interrupted when Gaara broke my crystal and knocked me away with a flick of his arm.
I coughed out blood.
'What!? I put so much chakra, he shouldn't be able to get out! What did Guren do when she was getting the Sanbi?' I looked at Gaara and noticed dark chakra surrounding him.
'I see, he surrounded himself with Ichibi's vile chakra then cracked my crystal and got out. At least he's low on chakra but...'
Gaara already was taken over by Ichibi.
"Naruto! Summon your toad!" Naruto quickly bit his thumb without complaint or questions, and with a huge cloud of smoke, Naruto stood on a toad.
Both of them an argument before the toad saw Ichibi.
"Now transform into something with claws!" I yelled out, black spots forming in my vision.
'Please work for god's sake. I don't wanna fail yet...'
. . .
I opened my eyes slowly before cringing at the sun. I checked over my body's condition, surprisingly, just a migraine.
'Hahaha sleeping off debuffs is amazing...'
Looking around, I saw the majority of the forest destroyed and Gaara with Naruto laying on the ground.
I quickly flickered over to him and surprisingly, at the same time, so did the remaining sand siblings.
"Let's stop...I'm tired..." Gaara said, and for once, his eyes had light.
"Alright" Kankuro responded, grabbing Gaara's arm and wrapped it around his shoulder.
I turned my attention to Sasuke and Sakura, who were staring at us, Sakura was already waving her hand around Naruto with a green tint.
Before we jumped away I faced my attention to Sasuke and said,
"You really need to cut your hair."
The sand siblings and I went back to the direction to Konoha, on the way Gaara said something that tears dripped off my face.
"Temari...Kankuro...Tamako...sorry..."
"D-don't worry about it..." Kankuro said, shocked.
. . .
Once everyone found out that Rasa was killed by Orochimaru and ordered the mission Konoha Crush, Sunagakure apologized to Konohagakure, but things weren't the same.
We had an agreement, in Konoha's favor, to continue the treaty. Both villages were left without a kage and vulnerable.
The agreement was, that Suna would allow Konoha to 'borrow' one of their shinobi for a mission, and receive a small amount of the mission pay.
It was just a couple weeks after Konoha Crush, our village decided to let the council take over the role of Kazekage until someone powerful enough could take over.
I have been sent on countless mission to try to raise our village budget, and since the council decided to promote me to Chunin, I've been sent on missions after mission.
"So tired..." I groaned while munching on Dango with Temari.
"They have been sending you on countless mission too, huh."
"You too Tema-chan? What about your brothers?" I said before inhaled my dango
"It's the same for them. Gaara's has it bad." Temari slowly bit into her dango.
"Ugh, that reminds me, I have a long-term mission today in Yugakure, something about a massacre a couple years ago. They want someone to investigate on it." I said before dropping my precious dango.
'Yugakure...massacre...Hidan...fuck.'
"Eh? Something wrong?" Temari frowned, I never drop food.
"Yeah, I'm just wondering when Konoha will force one of us on a mission. I hope it's not Gaara. He's still wary on those he doesn't know that well." Temari nodded.
"Well, I gotta head out, see you next month!" I waved before flickering at the exit of the village and walked.
. . .
It took 6 days to finally arrive at Yugakure and I went right into work.
I talked to the man who...governed the village. His shinobi weren't capable or trained to take down the man responsible for the murders.
"Ah, Suna kunoichi, have you arrived by yourself..?" He asked while showing a bit of unhappiness.
"Yes Tamura-sama, I am more capable of this mission,"
'Lie, I have to pray to survive this.'
"and I am the best shinobi trained in capture and detain." He nodded in satisfaction before asking,
"What information would you like then?"
"I would like the shinobi's data." Tamura waved his hand, a shinobi walked over to him and nodded and swiftly walked out the door. A couple minutes later, he came back with a small dossier.
He shoved it into my hands and kicked me out of the building. I mentally screamed in my head before calming down and walked to the nearest dango shop and sat down.
I ordered my usual dango and green tea. Once it arrived, I sipped on my green tea while reading the dossier.
Name: Hidan (No family name)
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Birthday: April, 2 ####
Blood Type: B
Height: 177.1 cm (5'8)
Weight: 56.8 kg (125 lbs)
Classification: S-Rank, Missing-Nin
Affiliation: Yugakure, Unknown
'The original mission asked for information of Hidan. That's all... I live another day.'
I quickly finished my drink and gobbled up my dango and set off. I left the small village and headed towards a nearby village. Which took an hour to arrive at shinobi speed.
I quickly henged into an older appearance of myself and entered a bar. I ignored those around me and sat on the bar stool and ordered a martini.
"You new around here? I know almost everyone who comes here." The bartender said, cleaning a shot glass.
"Yeah, I'm just traveling, stopping here, and thought might have a little fun tonight." I took a sip of my martini before quickly coating my liver with chakra.
"I'm looking for a man..." He laughed.
"You're looking for a man, or looking for a one-night stand?" I giggle a bit before responding.
"I'm traveling because I'm searching a good friend of mine, so I'm trying to track him down. You might know him." I pulled a picture out of my pouch.
The bartender rubbed his chin before responding,
"Ah yes, this man is quite vulgar. He seemed like a margarita guy, but he ordered a Cosmopolitan." I laughed
"Well, he weak when it comes to alcohol," I replied.
"He's actually a regular here, comes here every other Friday. Today is Friday, so you might catch him here." Not even a second later, the door was slammed open and came inside was Hidan, still wearing the standard coat for the Akatsuki.
"Speak of the devil," I muttered. I watch Hidan come over and sat next to me.
"I'll have a fucking Cosmopolitan," Hidan said before eyeing at me.
"Hey babe, haven't fucking seen you in this dump before. You new?" He asked. I giggle before responding.
"Yeah, I'm new here. Just stopping by, maybe have some fun tonight..." I trailed off as I eyed him up and down.
'Damn. He fineee. I would like a piece of that!'
"Cosmopolitan?"
"Don't fucking judge me, they're delicious bitch." He took the glass and finished in one gulp.
"I see something else delicious too," I smirked at him. "Let's talk a bit" I grabbed his hand and went outside before stopping and turned towards him.
"What's a missing-nin doing around these parts?" He tensed.
"How the fuck do you know about me?"
"Dossier." I responded with a smile before continuing, "Your work at Yugakure is impressive. So is your religion."
"You know the Way of Jashin bitch? Wanna join or some shit?"
"No, but I do admire your work at Yugakure. You sacrificed humans to your god, and in return, you get immortality. How this works is if you lick the blood of the person, then drawing the Jashin symbol on the ground and whatever damage happens to you, it happens to the person. Am I correct?"
"Tch, me and Kakazu killed everyone who saw or met us, how the fuck do you know all about me?"
"I have my ways, but I don't wanna fight. Let's make a deal, tell 'Leader-sama' that I want to make a deal. I'll provide information on the jinchuuriki and their skills, in return, I want you guys to research on this." I threw a scroll containing Itachi's illness and the information I have so far.
'Speaking of the illness, Haku sent me herbs that could slow down the process and sooth the throat. He personally crafted them into pills to last at least three years. It's not going to cure anything though.'
"Alright, but how do I know you don't betray us bitch?"
"Just tell your Leader, for now, if he want's the deal, then we'll talk. To contact me, send Deidara to Uzu no Kuni in 7 months. Deidara only, if you bring anyone else, I'll reveal all the information I have on all of you." I smiled before remembering, "I'm on your side. Just don't go telling on me to anyone, if you do..." I trailed off.
'I'm such a risk taker. I bet during Shippuden, I'll be a missing-nin.'
"Fine." Hidan walked away, I watched his figure disappeared as he entered the dark alleys.
I flickered towards Yugakure while releasing my hedge. Once I reached the village, I quickly entered my hotel before feeling lightheaded.
"I knew I shouldn't have drank so much."
. . .
I woke up around 10 and due to my Gamer's Mind, no headache. I showered and ate breakfast and flickered outside Tamura's office and knocked.
I heard a small 'come in' and opened the door before kneeling.
"I have the information regarding missing-nin, Hidan." He urged me to continue.
"He, currently, is in a group called, Akatsuki. Their goal is unknown, but all of their members are S-ranked. His abilities are immortality, but due to the fact this village isn't militarized, I cannot disclose this information." His eyes widen at the word 'immortality' and frowned when I didn't reveal the information.
"Why haven't you captured Hidan!?" He growled.
"When you told Sunagakure about this mission, you wrote that you only wanted information about Hidan, nothing more, nothing less. If you want me to capture an S-Ranked shinobi, you must pay for an S-ranked mission and reassign it. I did what I was told, I'll leave today."
I flickered out of his office and sighed.
'Might as well go to the springs, I heard they are amazing here.'
. . .
"Tamako! Konoha got a new Hokage!" I turned around and faced my attention to Kankuro.
"Kankuro, everyone knows already, you're just late to the information. Senju Tsunade is now Hokage. It's been a couple weeks since that."
"Oh" I rolled my eyes and continued training.
"The council are requesting your presence. I think it's another mission." Kankuro said. I groaned.
"See ya later" I waved my hand and flickered.
"Tamako, this is an important mission. Konoha finally made their choice to the mission. You are to escort and protect Fujikaze Yuki to Yukigakure. To are to accompany Hatake Kakashi and his Genin squad. Don't mess up."
"Hai!" I bowed before exiting out the door.
'So this is the first movie. Heh, this is gonna be the fun.'
